“An existential rollercoaster…”

“…excellent for beginners and industry experts alike…”

“The experience is excellent for beginners and industry experts alike. It builds on the foundations of connection and provides a solid base for actors… It goes beyond acting and into being more truthful in your life.” – Brandon Colby Cook

“…they get to the heart of what truly makes this technique great!”

“Few people in the city teach this wonderful work, and Evan and Kat do it very well. Their approach to the work gives students a chance to build a strong foundation of this acting technique and together they get to the heart of what truly makes this technique great!” – Student “M”

Exploration

This marks the beginning of the training. Here we will shift old perceptions and get to the heart of what it is you really do as an actor. This is an intense and invigorating program meant to uncover and catapult you to the core of your work.

Experience

The second phase of work is focused on deepening the skills and understandings discovered in the “Exploration” program. From here the exercises take on greater complexity and demand, leading to a whole new territory in your acting.

Expression

Now we really dive into who you are as an actor. Building from the previous “Exploration” and “Experience” courses, this stage puts a greater emphasis on script work, interpretation and preparation. Here we endeavour to find you not only as an actor, but as an artist.

Bio

Evan has been engaged in the art and craft of acting for over twenty years. A former graduate of SchoolCreative and The True Acting Institute, he is an insightful and passionate teacher of the Meisner Technique which he learned under the instruction and guidance from renowned teacher, Larry Silverberg.

My early years of training as an actor were met with moderate and humble successes. I was considered for many great roles, my peers and teachers were active admirers of my work and I would even dare say I was a ‘pretty good’ actor among many talented individuals. Still there was something that was missing. I often struggled to find who or what I was as an artist in this medium we call acting. I wanted to, as they say, “lose myself” in a role. The problem was that I never really knew what that was or what that meant. Perhaps for a brief moment I would touch upon it only for it to disappear just as quickly.

Again and again I would come up against this invisible wall, frustrated, angry and ever doubtful that I might never know true meaning in my craft.

Meisner was that missing piece. A training that was often marginalized in my education up to that point and even ridiculed. I discovered through my own experience that the technique was and is still greatly misunderstood. To know Meisner is to experience it, which is where much of the confusion comes from. All I can say is that it freed me -- took me beyond myself and everything I thought I knew about acting and in that space I discovered what might be considered a true act of creation and maybe even art.

Evan has been engaged in the art and craft of acting for over twenty years. A former graduate of SchoolCreative and The True Acting Institute, he is an insightful and passionate teacher of the Meisner Technique which he learned under the instruction and guidance from renowned teacher, Larry Silverberg.

Evan believes in teaching through collaboration, inspiration and joy above all else, and in helping actors discover who they are as artists and creators.

The Players Creative Company believes that great acting is more than applied techniques and intellectual concepts. We believe that great acting can be a transcendent experience, that can take us beyond ourselves, enriching all of our lives.

This goes beyond technique. This goes into the deepest part of ourselves. A part that we rarely peer into. A part that is full, alive and present. A part that we seek to awaken.

Journey into an experience of acting that is unlike anything you’ve ever engaged with, and will change your perceptions of what it is you do as an artist.
